2022 Map of Cylinder
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
Cylinder and Rodman anchor this agricultural landscape in Palo Alto County, where the grid of rural roads meets the winding path of the Des Moines River. The terrain is defined by its complex drainage network, ranging from the naturally meandering Cylinder Creek and Prairie Cr to engineered water management features like Ditch Number 80 and Dry Ditch. These waterways underscore the history of land use and water control in the region. Near the southern bend of the river, Riverside Cem serves as a quiet landmark for local genealogists, while the Old Channel reveals the former course of the river before its modern path was established. The map meticulously documents the intersection of rail and road infrastructure that once supported these small prairie settlements.
